==Chapter 1. Finding Answers==
−
Ideally most of the information you need to run and configure your server will be in the manual
−
If something you need isn't, work your way down the resources that follow.
−
If it's appropriate, you can add the material to the wiki, if unsure ask.
−
−
===Manuals===
−
[[SME_Server:Documentation| Four Manuals]]
−
are being written, for the User, Administrator, Technician and Developer.
−
−
===Bug Tracker===
−
Find, report and fix bugs here http://bugs.contribs.org/
−
−
You don't have to be a programmer to help or use the bug tracker.
−
Bugs also include fixing things and making suggestions on documentation, translations and the SME Server web sites.
−
−
Refer to [[BugzillaHelp]] for helping with bug fixing and verification.
−
−
===Forums===
−
Currently here http://wiki.contribs.org/
−
−
There is an enormous amount of information here, a search can often find just the answer you are after.
−
You can also find outdated, misinformed or wrong information.
−
−
The aim should be to transfer valuable information into the Manual or a Howto (with a link in the Howto List)
−
−
If you can't find the information you are after then post to the forum which is full of friendly helpful people
−
If applicable, document your answer in the wiki, so it becomes a definitive answer and not just another hit on a search

HowTo's are documents to solve a particular problem
−
There is a list of [[SME_Server:Documentation:HowTo | HowTos here]]

−
===Frequently Asked Questions===
−
−
The [[SME_Server:Documentation:FAQ|Frequently Asked Questions]] page is to be used to document problems that cannot or will not be fixed through development of SME7.
